David SQUIRRELL Obituary

David, I will never forget your kindness during my time working for you at MEC. Everything everybody says about you is genuinely true, your door was always open, you were always keen to teach & listen, your weekly tradition of Tuesday Coffee´s never went unappreciated and I will always be grateful for such a wonderful boss. Not only were you a fabulous boss but you also looked after my mum so fabulously just like you did with all of your other patients. Rest in love David.

from our family who were at Kingsway school with your children , we send our deepest condolences. In our thoughts and prayers love from the Duncan family Stanmore Bay

Very sad news. I first met David as a Trainee in South Yorkshire when in Doncaster. He was an amazing clinician and a very helpful and wise colleague. Sincere condolences to his family.

A good friend, a great researcher, a generous teacher and an outstanding clinician, just a few qualities of an amazing individual. Our paths first crossed when David was a junior doctor in Sheffield and I was truly fortunate to be able to collaborate with him on numerous projects. My thoughts and prayers go out to Judith and children at this time

I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. He was a wonderful Ophthamologist who, on each of my visits over the years, had the time to talk of things and people we had in common as well as ensuring my eye condition was assessed and managed regularly. A true gentle man, whom I considered a friend as well as my specialist. He is missed.

A wonderfully kind and highly skilled man.. As one of his patients I had the greatest respect for him. My warmest sympathy and love to his family.

I was a secretary in Ophthalmology in Sheffield from 1992 when both David and his wife worked at the beginning of their Ophthalmology careers. I was greatly saddened to read about David's passing. My thoughts go out to Judy and his children.

I am so shocked to hear this, and so sorry Judy and family. David was an absolute pleasure to work with at Greenlane Hospital. He taught me how to laser and was the best teacher ever, so encouraging and helpful. Honestly one of the best doctors I have ever worked with. Such a loss, my heart is so heavy.

I was very sad to hear of Dr Sqirrell's passing. He made the biggest difference to my eyesight and I have been so grateful ever since. Margeret Smeets

On behalf of the Gotta Sing Choir in Orewa, we offer our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Squirrel family for their sad loss.
Judy and Jonathan were part of the choir when they lived in New Zealand. David would support them by attending our concerts and we got to know them as loving family.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with you during this difficult time.

To the Family of Dr. David Squirrel,
I will never forget David's kindness to my late Husband Peter - who suffered from severe Macular Degeneration. We met at Greenlane eye clinic. He went out of his way to offer all possible support to Peter. My thoughts and Prayers are with you his family in your grief. With gratitude for all David did.- Margaret Chiaroni

My Dear friend Judi and children. I´m still in shock that David is with our Alimighty. He was amazingly kind. My mum never forgot David. She´s with the Lord now but I´ll never forget how much she spoke about David after her cataract operation. I didn´t know at that time that he was my friend Judi´s husband. I´ll keep you and children in my prayer my dear friend. Rohini

Dear Judy, Emily, Jonathon and Daniel,
We were shocked and appalled to hear the terrble news of David's unexpected passing.
I know you will find the strength to cope with this sudden awful loss of such a lovely husband and father. How does one ever cope? I don't know.
We will always remember him.
Sylvia Pieper and family.

We were shocked and saddened to see David Squirrel´s death notice.
He did our cataract surgeries about 3 years ago. He was thoroughly professional, explained everything clearly, and was very kind and caring. We send deepest sympathy to his wife and children.
